The principal research aim of iPLACENTA is to improve our ability to study, model and visualise the placenta. This will contribute to developing diagnostic tests and therapies for pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Placental defects are thought to be the cause of many major pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia and intra-uterine growth restriction. Preeclampsia affects between 5 and 8 out of every 100 pregnant women and claims the lives of 76,000 mothers and 500,000 babies annually. Intrauterine growth restriction affects 60,000 births across the EU per year. This is the most common factor for stillborn babies. Yet the low prediction rate means that it often leads to the pre-emptive induction of labour at a premature stage, when it could have been delayed. For the mothers and children that survive preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction, there are life-long serious cardiovascular and neurological consequences.

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0034-7755The placenta remains the key to maternal diseases such as Pre-eclampsia (PE) and Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), however the pathophysiology of these disorders remains elusive. The aim of this study is to characterize the key proteomic variations between PE and IUGR, to better understand the pathoetiology of these diseases.Term placentas each were collected from PE, IUGR pregnancies, and age and BMI matched healthy controls. Quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometer was used in data dependent ...

Placental dysfunction has been associated with various pregnancy complications leading to both maternal and fetal death and long-term consequences, however, the placenta is one of the least studied organs within the human body. In this pilot study, protein signature of three healthy placentae was measured using label free quantification mass spectrometry. Each placenta was sampled in five sample sites and three sub-anatomical regions. Differentially expressed proteins were identified considering ...
